Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
LLMs make full first drafts fast. Making those drafts great requires lots of iteration. Without iterating, they make beautiful black boxes filled with vomit.
It's a lot like asking an LLM to write you an essay. The shape is almost correct and it's all plausibly coherent, but the substance is tiny relative to the word count and it doesn't make much sense when you drill in.
I think that the edge can be taken off with prompt engineering (directly - indirection with "skills" / "rules" /
AGENTS.mdis generally inefficient).But, it's a moving target. For example, I noticed a regression in Opus 4.8 vs 4.5-4.7 where it stopped tagging the issue a PR closes consistently, which I suspect to be a side effect of their alignment tuning. For now I just close them manually, not going to adjust anything on a minor version regression causing a minor inconvenience. However this does illustrate that it's all very fluid, and that a generic best practice, let alone reliable, ossified skill definitions, are still far off.
I'm still a big fan of "bespoke everything", but right now, that means you need bespoke tooling too. Which is expensive, especially if you need to continuously develop it.
It sounds like you're having more luck than me recently. It depends on the task and scope though.
At root I think the problem is they're trained to get from point A to point B. They get to point B more and more reliably, especially if you specify B well, but they tend to choose retarded routes when A and B are far apart.
Yes, once I get used to a model's quirks, they release new ones with their own quirks.
I'm still happy with my Dec-Feb investment in bespoke orchestration. I'm semi-happy with Claude, relatively unhappy with GPT - I use it less and less - and neutral with GLM. I'm 99% skeptical about codegen still. Analysis is fine, false positive rate is under 20% for me now, maybe even under 10%.
I do get tired of reading all the slop, but in some of my usecases ("analyze this 600k line diff for x,y,z") the choice I have is to either be going over well structured opti-instructed slop, or generally poor slop code from a third party. I prefer "my slop" over "their slop"; it's simply better slop, lol.
I think the difference between analysis and codegen is that analysis is like going from point A to point B via as many routes as possible. Codegen requires picking one of few great routes.
I don't even let it suggest point B haha

both groups in the bottom category are basically number go uppers
Yes, the difference between them is conservatism. In the classical nonpolitical sense of the word.

bitcoin is falling faster than i can buy it
Saylor sold out, help! Hahaha, what those who idolized him are saying, he just makes money 🤑 Fiat with Bitcoin, you fools!
Or he is creating an enhanced buying opportunity ;)
Price has dropped 7% since the sale was announced.
This is a real opportunity for us, honestly, as long as it goes up or down, we have to buy Bitcoin.
In most cases the news plays out only once. Next time when he'll sell no one will notice
it's a smart move: sell some coin, create panic, buy cheaper coin.
I completely agree
80 years ago Italians voted out the monarchy and established the Italian Republic, and it was also the first time that women could vote!
Happy anniversary! 🇮🇹
Still owned by Zionist bankers.
Your democracy is a sham.
a bit suggestive for a dental clinic
Parent-Teacher Meeting may seem like a checkpoint of your child’s progress at school.
But it may also be a verdict of the parent’s efforts at home.
Now, my children’s personalities are as different as vanilla and chocolate. However, one thing both teachers pointed out is that they need to hone their fine motor skills. In particular, they need to hold a pencil and write more.
Which is something that I haven’t been focusing on. Probably because teaching someone to write can be an exasperating process.
Last Saturday, I watched my son struggle to write 起得早 for 10-15 minutes. How did I learn to write fluently with nary a thought? How come my dad got away scot-free?
Anyway, looks like developing my children’s fine motor skills is something that I need to prioritise this holiday.
Take it easy, teach him with the same love you show to those who aren't your children. Isn't that contradictory? It's easier to teach a child who isn't your own than your own child. A total irony.
I was smart enough to choose simpler characters today haha. and oh I bought snacks so that he could gobble and write characters at the same time. kinda like training a dog haha
The strategies you use for your son are important; I truly admire you, my friend @cryotosensei
Young learn fast.
Will they use cursive script in the Latin alphabet? I ask because it took me a long time to develop intelligible and what's considered beautiful handwriting, and I did that for myself. These characters are complex, but they don't seem hard to write—unless there's a specific thickness required for each line or something like that. I imagine that this requirement is a cultural thing there.
I’m afraid penmanship isn’t emphasised in our educational system these days. My third grade teacher taught us to write cursive script, but these days, the emphasis has been centered on getting students to benefit from learning with AI. Priorities have changed haha
Seems better to focus on skills that will actually used
